Commercial Refrigerators FAQ
Which refrigerator is best for commercial use?
The best commercial refrigerator will depend on your foodservice business. Size and type of food storage containers, available space, energy efficiency and budget are all factors to consider. There are reach-in, undercounter, glass door merchandising and prep table refrigerators.
What is the difference between a commercial fridge and a domestic fridge?
Commercial refrigerators are available in a wider variety of sizes and types than domestic refrigerators. They’re designed to be used in commercial environments. They are designed in a basic style (includes just shelves – no drawers and compartments). Commercial fridges are not recommended for domestic use because they are louder.
How long does a commercial fridge last?
The lifespan of a commercial refrigerator depends on how well the fridge is maintained (regular cleaning of the condenser coils, checking door gaskets and replacing worn-out parts). Following proper maintenance, you can expect it to last 10-15 years on average. For more details, read this How to Maintain Commercial Refrigerators and Freezers article.
